Applying to two Master's program from the same university

[anhkimchi]

Hello,

I am new to grad cafe and I plan to apply to graduate school this year for fall of 2021. I'm very interested in applying to SDSU's Masters of Social Work as well as SDSU's M.A. in Autism Specialization. Does anyone know if it is okay for me to apply to two Master's program from the same university? Anyone who are in these programs have any advice for me? Thank you!

In my experience, applying to 2 programs at the same university is fine. I applied to two PhD programs at the same school, and was accepted to both. As long as you can justify your choice to apply to both programs, and show clear interest in each program individually/separately, you should be fine.

OH yes, I will only be doing one Masters. I was just wondering if I can apply to two programs from the same university, as in I weren't to get accepted into one but maybe get accepted into the other program.
